I’m at a loss as to what to do about my poor mum.
She developed excruciating shoulder pain 10 days ago, we ended up seeing OOHs GP as she could hardly move her head. We were told she has tendonitis in her shoulder and given tramadol.
Saw another GP few days later as pain continued with no effect from tramadol.
GP says carry on with tramadol and wait for your physio appt (coming up this week)
She is in tears with the pain and the only way she gets a tiny bit of relief is from laying on the affected side. She can barely even sit up without crying in pain.
Is tendonitis this painful? Something just doesn’t seem right
Surely there must be something that can be done to relieve the pain in the meantime
Just looking for any wise words or advice from someone who may know more than me about tendonitis.....
